Peak arcade but local multiplayer only
Mors gave me the game once I asked nicely. Operius DX is way more polished than the original Operius, while perfectly expanding over the original idea. Customizing my flying paper airplane was a great addition Also it runs fine on Proton, if you are one of those folks that use it
Me encanta el estilo retro jugue la version basica en opera gx y ME ENAMORE tal solo esa introduccion ademas de que han mejorado muuuchas cosas de los MEJORES juegos indie una OBRA MAESTRA WEEEEE... peeero donde ven ustedes un juego yo veo un mundo retro de posibilidades para MORS, su juego puede ser un universo, añadir la posibilidad de crear tu propio nivel y añadirle el sountrack ademas de el enfoque tema y diseños ejemplo añadir skins de spiderman y los enemigos venom pero con diseños retro hasta un diseñador integrado como hacer un personaje de minecraft peroo en operius DX creanme me volveria LOCO si añaden tales cosas
increase the speed of shooting, thanks
level 5 is unbalanced as ♥♥♥♥. I can't beat it if my life depended on it. Add more difficulty options, easy, medium and hard
Review changed, go all the way down to last paragraph. There's no inbetween positive and negative, which is the reason why the review is negative. The game itself is fine. You have multiple gamemodes, skins, themes, and the level system is straightforward. Just go into rings to shoot more bullets and have enough rings on you to go to the next level. 3 of the gamemodes use the standard arrow key and space to shoot, or if you have auto-shoot on no need to press space. Now one of the gamemode changes this... You have to press space bar to change direction... Sounds easy, but it's extremely hard to control, since you have to press the bar to change direction AND shoot, and going in a straight line is basically impossible as you'll need to spam the space bar which can make you lost in which direction you go, which can be especially tricky on the 4th level of this gamemode, mainly because of another negative point, RNG. The game is extremely RNG-based. If you're lucky, you'll not have an attack that is not easily avoidable. Rings are not directly next to enemies. There aren't too many walls. If you're unlucky, especially in switcher gamemode, which is the space bar control gamemode, you just can't progress, since either the rings spawn directly infront of a wall which makes it extremely hard to avoid the wall while taking the ring, either there are a little too many walls, and you very easily lose yourself in which direction you go since you'd want to go in a straight line. Also, this switcher gamemode unlocks 3 gamemodes, which means that I have 0 clue of what they are since I simply can't progress in that gamemode because of that RNG. Not to mention, but in the previous version of Operius DX, Operius, shooting was both constant but also faster. Ok, previous version had a lot less stuff... However, it is a lot more smooth. This version is not fluid, even if I meet all requirements and even better. Anyway, fun game, just so RNG-based, probably not optimised super well, has an insanely difficult gamemode that is required to unlock all cosmetics and some gamemodes. At least I don't have to install Opera GX to play this. Quick update on review. Sometimes, like 33% of the time, the game has the audacity to put a ring completely out of reach. Some enemy formations are incredibly hard to bypass, especially in switcher. No matter how you shoot, no matter how fast, enemies will always be able to hit from the side, which happens rather frequently. It's funny, patch 1.0.6 coincidentally fixes most of the issues of my old negative review, such as something along the lines of "Made the game more forgiving especially in switcher mode", which was the main negative point of my old review... Now the RNG is quite nice to you and rings seem more likely to appear near you, and seem less likely to spawn infront of a wall. Now biggest issue is just inconcistent framerate, as I reach minimum requirements and even for some of them higher (Yet I am on Linux). Switcher mode is still as annoying to control, but since RNG is better, it's not as annoying. Anyway even better now I still don't have to install Opera GX for this game as this is even better. Do note that you have short reaction time to get rings at some point.
ts so peak i found the free one on gamejolt played it for like 5 hours found out theres this one got it and now im playing it to pass time thanks
Mors refused to give me a free key. ♥♥♥♥ him. Anyway. Its a good game. Also a hilarious dev history.
1/10 Gave me a horrible headache and made me wanna kill myself. Only giving it a good review bc some guys in black told me that if I didn't they would experiment on me. I think they were gay??? Btw if you don't understand this review then you need to focus on your math homework.
Is this game bad? No. But steam asks if you would recommend it, not if it's good or not. If someone asks for games similar to Super Hexagon, I would point them to this, but otherwise I wouldn't suggest it. If you want a game in this same vein, Super Hexagon is just better, play that instead.
